Hayden speaks out!

Hayden saying shhh!
I love how he puts his finger on his nose.
Hayden pointing at his shirt and saying puppy.

It is so funny how fast time can pass when you aren't looking! Hayden is now 21 months old and starting to talk up a storm! He says shhhh and puts his finger on his nose. He says puppy, sissy (only when he is talking about Reagan), up, down, bye-bye, night night, baba, potty, cup, mom, mommy, daddy, blankie, eat, bite, nummy, feet, psst, no, out, door, shoes, light, and he has specific sounds when he is trying to say Logan or Baylee, but he's not quite their yet. He opens our gate that is supposed to cage him in, but at least he shuts it behind him so Reagan can't follow. We are trying to get Hayden to sleep in the bunk bed with Logan, but so far all we have managed to do is make mine and Eric's queen size bed a little smaller. I can get him to take naps still in his crib, but not at night. He has to sleep with us. We are working on it though. I am hoping to get him in his own bed before Christmas so that Reagan can finally have the crib. Then we can hopefully start working on potty training. I am hoping he is as easy as Logan was. He climbs out of everything and has now started falling head first off the arm of the couch or chair. He thinks this is hilarious, but it drives me crazy. Logan had him jumping off the arm of the chair the other night and Logan caught him. I think that is what started it all. Crazy kids! Reagan is walking along furniture and once in a while she lets go and just stands there. She will be walking very soon! Then I am in a lot of trouble! Logan and Baylee both started walking at 9 months. Hayden waited till he was almost 11 months. Reagan is 9 almost 10 months now. We will have to see if she can beat Hayden. The 2 of them have started being a little competitive, so I wouldn't be surprised. I just hope I am able to catch it on video.

Sammy's pics

A day with Sammy!

These are some pictures that I took of my niece, Samantha. She is an awesome girl and really fun to photograph. We took a whole day and went all over the valley taking these pictures. I ended up taking over 100 pictures of her that day! It was a blast spending time with her. We don't get to do it very often. Thanks for letting me do it Sam!

Halloween 2008

It has taken me a while, but here are the pictures from this Halloween. We did the usual stuff this year. I got the kids dressed up and we went to the Halloween carnival at the elementary school. Baylee was a mummy and Logan was a sock monster. Baylee won 3rd place in the costume contest. We managed to get a few pictures of Baylee with her friends, Caroline and Reagan. Reagan was the southern bell and she won 2nd place. Unfortunately they decided that they didn't want to be a mummy or a sock monster for Halloween so we were scrambling to find last minute costumes, which also seems to be a tradition around here. Hayden was a scarecrow and Reagan was Fiona from shrek. She actually kept that wig on. I was surprised! Of course it wouldn't be Halloween without carving pumpkins. This year we did a lot. We went to the pumpkin patch and picked our own and they were a lot cheaper so we got a lot more than we usually do. I was mad that I forgot my camera because the pumpkin patch would have made some cute pictures. The kids got a lot of candy and we all have toothaches so I would say it was a successful Halloween. We hope yours was great too!
